Stilling Prayer Exercises

‘Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me-watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.’

— Matthew 11: 28-30 (MSG)

These stilling prayer exercises can be used at any time to increase awareness of God’s constant presence.

When you’re ready to practice one of these exercises, just find a quiet spot where you can be still for a bit without distraction. Enjoy!
